EPDC provides workshops and other training. Past projects include an Education Quality workshop, training sessions and workshops for the World Bank, UNESCO, Ministries of Education and bilateral donors.
Among stakeholders there are different views of what constitutes quality education. However, there is a strong consensus that measurement of education quality is critically important, and that gaps in data must be filled to do this meaningfully. In collaboration with the U.S. Government, the Education Policy and Data Center and the Basic Education Coalition invited 65 key partners in civil society, business, international finance institutions, and the G8 to a two-day workshop to reach consensus on the key issues in the measurement of education quality and actions needed to close data-gaps.
The workshop was convened January 13-14, 2009, at the Academy for Educational Development in Washington DC. The agenda included discussing key issues of education quality from four perspectives, identifying gaps in data, and agreeing on next action steps.Read More about the Quality Workshops
In 2009, the Ministry of Education (MoE) of Namibia, in collaboration with the Basic Education Support (BES), asked the EPDC to work with them to develop an education simulation model and train planners to use this model. The model allows users to project pupils and teacher need by grade, subject, language of instruction, separately for each of Namibia’s 13 sub-national regions. NAMIBIA HIPE MODEL | MANUAL |
In 2009, EPDC collaborated with the Ministry of Education in Zambia and the Education Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP) to develop district-level education profiles that present EMIS data alongside data analysis by district policymakers. The profiles have been integrated into the administrative monitoring system for the country, and have been used by the districts as a tool to identify and communicate policy priorities, engage stakeholders, and request funds and support. EPDC also produced a visual manual on education indicators and contributed to a series of workshops designed to encourage evidence-based decision making at the district level.Select and Download Zambia Profiles below:
